Why do we human beings do it? Why is it so much easier to gang up on and make fun of someone than to try to understand them and try to see things from their point of view?

I have a thing on my wall which came from a Shoshone friend of mine now deceased and it says "Great Spirit, Grant that I may not criticise my neighbour untiI have walked a mile in his mocassins."

Thanks for this Tal. I shall pass it on to my cousin in the US and to a few other friends who I know will be as touched by it as I was.
